you can usually pull this off by picking up out of base same day as the trip departure when they will have to use a short call and you just had 30 hours free from duty.
good info 82...i tried and tried to do this while on rsv in lax and live 20 min from iah...i would call and they would tell me no and i would dial right back and see if the next one would tell me yes...glad to see that it is an option if it all aligns correctly.
